RECENT changes in the economic pro-
gress OF Great Britain formed the sub
ject of a paper read before the econmic
section of the British Association for the
Advancement of Science, by DR.. Robert
Gifren, the president of the season. DR..
Citizens study of the statistics of Eng
lands recent material progress mas led
MIN to the conclusion that there has been
falling off in the rate Of production of
taple articles in the last ten years, rs
compared with the decades Immediately
preceding; that a falling off in the rate
of advance has occurred in the great tex
tile industries and is reflected in the
figures of receipts from railway traffic
and of shipping in the foreign trade and
that a similar decline in the rate of in
Grease has taken place as regards the
consumption of leading articles, such as
tea, sugar, spirits and tobacco, statistics
regarding which are often used as indi-

found, on the other hand, that the
proportion OF pauperism to the
population is decreasing, that the depos-

increase, as do the items of houses in the
income tax assessments, and that there is
q like increase in the postonice business,
facts going to show that there has not
been anything like q serious economic
re.rogression. Or. Giffen explains this
condition of things on the ground that
industry is becoming more and more mis-

A Smart Trick

OTTAWA, Ont, September 9.-The De-
partment of Customs has been ap
prised of a trick which has just been
played on the American authorities by
the captain Of the Hired 1danl8, Brit
ish Columbia sealing schooner. The
adams was seized in Behring's Sea last
month by the United States revenue
cutter Rush, AMI her sealskins and fish
ing tackle taken away. A prize crew was
put on board and the captain was or
ordered to navigate the schooner to
Sitka. The captain seemingly obeyed
for time, but after having parted com
pany with the Rush, Cooly headed the
adams for Victoria Bay, where she ar
rived a few days ago. The prize crew
could do nothing to compel the captain
to proceed to Sitka, as it is understood
to have consisted of only two men, and
the crew of the adams not having been
removed, was too strong for them.

the Commons, to-day, said government
had no information in reference to the
seizure of the Pathfinder by the Ameri

engaged in fishing within three miles of
the coast OF Alaska, she was not liable
to lawful seizure, The report says
that seven vessels in ell have been
seized, and the American government
has ordered that no more vessels be
seized, pending judicial proceedings,
and that the vessels and persons already
seized be discharged, reserving all the
questions involved for negotiations at
Washington. He was not prepared to
state what course government would
take III dealing with the Alaska fishery
question.
